I can't even understand his weird-sounding voice. I wish Ari wouldn't give these nutjobs national exposure like this.

(102,666 posts)Based on what has been reported, I'd agree that it is likely the past chronic organic mercury toxicity (from compulsive tuna and other fish ingestion) that most explain his mental/memory issues.
Spasmodic dysphonia is believed to have a hereditary predisposition and Kerry, his sister does have it too.
But damn... Beyond his three discrete neuro issues, and a history of 4 hospitalizations with atrial fib, he's got some nerve claiming Biden is such a "trainwreck" physically.

I've never been able to eat sushi or any other kind of uncooked meat since taking microbiology.

(102,666 posts)Then again, I am not unaccustomed to hearing elderly with Parkinson's or other neuro dysfunction sounding a lot like that--much like Katherine Hepburn in her later years.
His sister, Kerry Kennedy has it too, but I find hers to be far less severe.

hlthe2b
(102,666 posts)Once in a while, it does "breakthrough" and I have to give him some kudos and a bit of a pass for a while longer--until the next time he reverts to what frustrates so many of us (and I don't just mean the Rap segments)

(17,318 posts)He doesn't have the ability to communicate. It's painful to listen to him. And then there's his ideas.

(269,573 posts)I may have been the same if I faced his familys disasters. He has the personality of a flea and a voice like chalk on a chalkboard
That is all

Another authoritarian.

(42,022 posts)I feel sorry for him, but hes a mess. He shouldnt be running for anything. People need to see that.
senseandsensibility
(17,318 posts)I'll bet most people have no idea how he sounds.

(51,625 posts)And says Biden can't win if he stays in. And Biden does worse if he leaves.
Such a crackpot.
If he was running as a Democrat I would not vote for him. He can't put his words together.
